Title: Transformable toy
Inventor: SATO WATARU
IPC: A63H33/00
Filed: 2006-05-23
Abstract: A toy is equipped with an exterior structure, constructed in such a way that it transforms from a rollable first shape to a second shape, and an interior structure contained within the interior of this exterior structure. The said exterior structure is endowed with a transformation means that transforms an exterior locking portion and the exterior structure from the first shape to the second shape. The interior structure is endowed with a magnetic body that moves by means of a magnetic force that acts from the exterior of the said toy, an interior locking porti on that moves simultaneously with the movement of this magnetic body, and a biasing means that effects a force which moves or turns this interior locking portion in a particular direction . In the event that a magnetic force does not act from the exterior of the said toy, a locked stat e of the interior locking portion, which moved or turned in a particular direction by means of the for ce of the biasing means, and the said exterior locking portion is realized, and the first shap e of the exterior structure is thereby maintained. In the event that a magnetic force has acted from the exterior of the said toy, the said magnetic body and the said interior locking portion resist the force of the said biasing means and move or turn, the locked state of the said interior locking portio n and the said exterior locking portion is thereby released, and the exterior structure thereby transforms from the first shape to the second shape by means of the transformation means.

Patent CA-2552439-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JASSER RAMI J
IPC: E21B17/10
Filed: 2004-12-07
Abstract: An improved blast liner assembly for use in gravel packing or fracturing operations wherein solid materials, in slurry form, are flowed out of the flowbore of a working tool and into the annulus of a wellbore. The blast liner is a cylindrical member that provides a protective shield to the interior retaining section. An angular flow diverter is provided within the blast liner and has a plurality of angled flow diversion channels formed into the inner surface of the blast liner body. Flow of slurry through the blast liner will cause the blast liner to rotate within the retaining section due to the reaction forces imparted to the blast liner from diverting the slurry flow. In this manner, the impingement area presented by the blast liner is increased, and the life of the blast liner extended. The blast liner may also be caused to move axially within the retaining section to further increase the impingement area.
